Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose had a whirlwind relationship, marriage and eventual divorce. The former couple’s engagement came not long after the “Achy Breaky Heart” hitmaker finalized his divorce from ex-wife of 28 years, Tish Cyrus. But by 2024, Billy Ray and Firerose went their separate ways — and their split was nowhere near amicable.
Now that Billy is romantically linked to Elizabeth Hurley, learn about his ex Firerose below.
Firerose, whose age is unknown, was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, according to her website. She told People that her unique name was given to her by her grandmother as a child. “It’s always how I’ve identified,” she said, adding it is now her legal name.
Firerose grew up in a family of symphony musicians. Prior to moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music, Firerose graduated from the Newtown School for the Performing Arts in Sydney. Her website also states that some of her biggest inspirations include Sia, Alanis Morisette and Australian rock bands Powderfinger, INXS, and Silverchair.
Billy Ray announced that he and Firerose were headed for the altar in November 2022 in an interview with People. He was super direct with the proposal. As Firerose remembered, “Billy looked at me and said, ‘Do you, do you wanna marry me?’ And I was just like, ‘Of course I do. I love you. He said, ‘I love you. I wanna make this official. I wanna be with you forever.’” While he didn’t have a ring at the time, they eventually designed the perfect sparkler together.
The engagement rumors began when the blonde beauty showed off that huge diamond ring on her Instagram in Sep. 2022. She captioned the set of photos, “Taking in the moment…”, and even tagged her man. A few days later the couple was spotted “Searching for UFOs” together in a video on her Instagram. Firerose and Billy were driving around a rural area and blasting music in the car.
